Denise Jensen , LCSW

Denise Jensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with more than 16 years of clinical experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She has worked with individuals and families facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, career transitions, trauma, and ADHD, bringing a calm, practical perspective to each case.

Her approach mixes focused, solution-oriented techniques with cognitive-behavioral strategies, family systems ideas, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and supportive counseling to meet clients where they are. As a strengths-based clinician, she emphasizes the abilities and resources clients already possess, helping them build on those assets to cope and make meaningful changes. Denise sees therapy as a collaborative process and considers it a privilege to accompany clients as they grow and become empowered to make positive life choices and decisions.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Denise commonly draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing when working with clients online. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work and the therapist reflects and supports personal exploration. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build the motivation to take next steps, especially around transitions or habit shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Denise collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Denise is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
